Secrets and proportions for the perfect biscuit
Despite the fact that biscuit dough is the easiest, it is important to know about some nuances that will help to make good dough. It will hold its shape well, not fall off, and please with its flavor:
- Eggs – be sure to divide the whites and yolks, beating them with sugar separately until the texture is as dense as possible;
- flour – always sift it to get rid of unwanted impurities and oxygenate it;
sequence – after beating the eggs and sifting the flour, you must add the whites to the yolks and mix gently, only then add the flour.
The most important point is to mix the dough. It should not be beaten intensively – it is better to stir gently with a spoon or spatula, making as few movements as possible. Biscuits can be baked only in a heated oven, and the form must not be greased with oil, otherwise, the biscuit will stick to it. The biscuit should turn out ruddy – when it cools, you need to gently pick it up with a knife on the sides and take it out of the mold.
